Roseville student says classmate's family beat him at bus stop

A 16-year-old student at Roseville High School claims he was beaten at his bus stop by family members of a classmate with whom he argued earlier that day, police reported.

The teenager said he and the female classmate exchanged obscenities aboard a school bus on the way to the classes Wednesday morning. He reported that upon being dropped off at his bus stop at Frazho and Kelly roads after school, four relatives of the girl attacked him, police said.

“The victim states as he exited the bus first one and eventually all four of the people waiting without warning or provocation began to beat the victim about the head and body,” Roseville Police Chief James Berlin said in a press release. “The assault continued until someone yelled that the police were coming and all four of the suspects ran to a waiting vehicle and sped off.”

Berlin said the driver of the getaway vehicle is believed to be the mother of the girl and the attackers.
